Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 176 Everything in the world has a cause and effect

The happy night passed by in a hurry.

The next day, January 63, 1, New Year's Eve.

After having breakfast, Jia Weidong asked the third uncle to write a few couplets, not only for his own use, but also for two small courtyards he rented.

The small courtyard in Wei's Hutong has been rented, and maybe it will be used someday. It's better to be prepared, and it doesn't cost much money anyway.

Although Jia Weidong doesn't go there often, he hopes it won't be abandoned. Qin Huairu would occasionally help clean up after get off work.

Going far and then near, Jia Weidong drove a pickup truck to the small courtyard of Yushuguan.

Along the way, I saw Spring Festival couplets posted on the doors of many courtyards, and some were hung with red paper lanterns. From time to time, there was a sound of firecrackers.

The flavor of the year is getting stronger and stronger.

The streets were full of children holding firecrackers, so Jia Weidong didn't dare to drive too fast and drove slowly.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Yushuguan courtyard.

Before getting off the car, Jia Weidong habitually let go of his thoughts and carefully checked the surrounding situation.

Jia Weidong frowned.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the small courtyard I rent, but the second family behind me.

All six members of the family are at home.

in the room.

The old lady was leaning on the bed to put the soles of her shoes, and there were three children beside her who were hiding under the quilt and did not get up.

in the kitchen.

The pot doesn't move and the ladle doesn't sound.

A woman was sitting on a stool wiping away tears, and a little girl standing next to her also had tears on her face.

"What's going on? Are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling?"

"It doesn't look like that! Yeah! Got it!"

Jia Weidong understood after scanning the grain vat and vegetable cellar in the kitchen.

There were a few cabbages in the vegetable cellar, and only a few stick noodles in the grain vat, which was not enough for a family of six to eat for a few days.

Other than that, there was nothing to eat in the kitchen.

This doesn't look like celebrating the New Year at all.

Everything in the world has a cause and effect. I have gained so much from the Yu family's house. This is also a cause and effect. I should help their family.

"Do, do, do"

Jia Weidong walked to the door of the house and knocked on the door.

"This comrade, who are you?" the woman asked after opening the door. With somewhat red eyes, he looked at Jia Wei warily.

The woman looked to be in her mid-thirties, with a slim figure and a height of 168cm. Her shabby cotton-padded jacket could not hide her excellent figure, and she still looked well-shaped.

He has two thick and long braids, his hair is a little yellow, he has an oval face, curved eyebrows, and his skin is delicate, but his face also has an obvious color.

At first glance, he looked like he was suffering from chronic malnutrition.

"Hello, eldest sister, my name is Jia Weidong. I am a student of finance and trade. I rent the small courtyard in front of me."

"Hello, Comrade Jia, are you coming over?"

"Oh, eldest sister, isn't it winter vacation? My yard hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I wonder if eldest sister can help me?"

"This" woman hesitated, not because she was unwilling to help, but because she felt it was inappropriate to help a young man clean up the house.

"Sister, you can take your child with you, it will be faster."

"Okay, Xiu'er, come with me to the front yard." The woman agreed and called into the house.

"Hey!" With a clear voice like a lark, a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old came out of the house.

"Xiu'er?" It turns out that this little girl is also called Xiu'er, the same name as Liang Ladi's little daughter.

Xiu'er was also wearing a somewhat worn cotton-padded jacket, and her yellow hair was tied into two small braids, swaying as she walked.

She looks similar to a woman, with a small oval face and delicate facial features. She is actually a beauty. It’s just that the collagen on my face doesn’t show up, and my face looks sallow.

<divclass="contentadv">"Mom, what are we doing in the front yard?"

"Let's go help this brother clean the house."

The small courtyard rented by Jia Weidong.

"Your house is really messy," the woman said as she rolled up her sleeves and started working. Her hands and feet were quick and it looked like she was a master at housework.

Little did she know that Jia Weidong had just messed up all this with his thoughts in order to help their family.

Xiu'er is not slow either, she is also very agile, and she definitely does a lot of housework in daily life.

Jia Weidong accompanied them, helping them from time to time, chatting with the mother and daughter while working.

The women were not introverted, and they quickly became familiar with each other, and Jia Weidong also learned more about the family.

The woman's name is Shi Yueru. Her actual age is not as old as she looks. She is only 33 years old after the Chinese New Year. Xiuer was born at the age of 18.

The man who taught Yueru was surnamed Yu. When she gave birth to her youngest son, she suddenly became seriously ill, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother to live a hard life.

"Yu Xiu'er, how old are you? Are you studying?"

"Brother Weidong, I am 15 years old and in the second grade of junior high school."

"Xiu'er, call Uncle Wei Dong"

"Mom, why? Brother Wei Dong is not much older than me, isn't he?"

"Forget it, Sister Yueru, it doesn't matter, let's just talk about our own affairs."

"Girl, why are you reading so many books? You tell her not to read but she insists on reading." Shi Yueru sighed softly.

"Sister Yueru, girls also need to study. If they are uneducated in the future, they must at least finish junior high school."

"Alas! But our family..." Shi Yueru choked back as soon as she spoke.

She and Jia Weidong had just met, and it was really inconvenient to say some things.

"Sister Yueru, take your time and things will get better."

Half an hour later, everything was done.

Jia Weidong took out a piece of bacon from the kitchen and handed a small bag of white noodles to Xiu'er.

"Xiu'er, put it down, we're just going to help you a little bit, we can't take it away."

"Sister, take it. I won't come to this yard until at least the beginning of school. It won't be good if I leave it here for a long time."

"Weidong, you can take it home"

"Sister Yueru, didn't I tell you that I work on a farm? There's really no shortage of food at home."

"This" Shi Yueru hesitated in his heart when he saw Xiu'er staring at the bacon and swallowing saliva.

"Sister Yueru, if you feel embarrassed, just help me clean the house every now and then. You can also ask Xiu'er to help. Xiu'er, give you the key."

Jia Weidong took out the key directly from his pocket and handed it to Xiu'er.

"Brother Weidong, I will help you clean the house every day."

Xiu'er took the key and said to Jia Weidong seriously. After saying that, he happily followed Shi Yueru, carrying bacon and white noodles, and skipped back.

"Oh, it's not easy."

Jia Weidong looked at the backs of Shi Yueru and his daughter and sighed in his heart.

Jia Weidong didn't give too much. If he gave too much food at once, people wouldn't dare to accept it.

They only gave me a small piece of bacon and two or three kilograms of white flour, which was barely enough for the Yu family to make dumplings tonight.

After pasting the couplets and locking the courtyard door, I drove the minivan straight to Weijia Hutong.

Everything around Wei's Hutong Courtyard was normal. Several nearby families were beaming with joy and seemed to be living a good life.

Jia Weidong did not stay in the small courtyard for long, and went home directly after posting the Spring Festival couplets.

After parking the car at the entrance of the alley, Jia Weidong ran to the yard and called Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and others, and together they moved the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner back to the yard.

"I don't have anything to do for the New Year's Eve dinner. Is there anything else that I haven't done before?" Jia Weidong thought about it when he went home after handing over to Shazhu.
